- Easy Installation: Screw terminals offer straightforward and secure wiring connections.
- Standards Compliant: Adherence to international IEC standards guarantees compatibility and safety.
Function
- Four-pole Switching: Capable of switching four separate circuits simultaneously, making it suitable for multi-phase or complex load control.
- Load Disconnection: Effectively disconnects loads or power generation plants from the grid.
- Transfer Switching: Can be used in transfer switching applications for power source management.
- Control Circuit Operation: Auxiliary contacts enable interlocking, signaling, and other control functions within automation systems.
Protection and Safety:
- Connection Protection: All connections require appropriate short-circuit and overload protection. Refer to the technical product data sheet and configuration manuals for detailed guidance on main, auxiliary, and control circuit protection.
- Overvoltage Protection: The 3RT23 contactors can be retrofitted with surge suppressors (RC elements, varistors, diodes) to dampen opening surges in the coil, protecting sensitive components and extending coil life (accessories ordered separately).
- Motor Protection: For applications requiring motor overload protection, the 3RT2327-1BA40 can be combined with Siemens 3RU2 thermal overload relays or 3RB3 electronic overload relays.
Connection Methods:
- Main Circuit: Features screw terminals for reliable connection of power cables.
- Auxiliary and Control Circuit: Equipped with standard screw terminals for control wiring.
Contact Reliability of Auxiliary Contacts: The auxiliary contacts of the 3RT2327-1BA40 ensure a high level of contact reliability, especially suitable for switching voltages 110 V and currents 100 mA. They are particularly effective for solid-state circuits with currents 1 mA at voltages of 17 V and higher.
Operating Mechanism: This specific model features a conventional DC operating mechanism, controlled via the A1-A2 control supply voltage connection.
Expandability and Maintenance:
- Auxiliary Switch Expansion: The basic unit can be expanded with additional auxiliary switches to meet evolving control requirements (permissible configurations must be observed).
- Solenoid Coil Replacement: The solenoid coil can be replaced, facilitating maintenance and extending the contactor’s lifespan.
Accessories and Spare Parts: A wide range of accessories and spare parts are available for the SIRIUS 3RT2 contactors, including surge suppressors and additional auxiliary switches, allowing for customization and long-term serviceability.
